Skyla has her 1 year injections today. Is there anything I can do to make it as painless as…

Hmm not really hun, there not any worse than the other ones. It will be over quickly. I think what hurts more for them is the fluid being pushed in rather than the needle. With adults I guess it can be done a bit slower as we stay still :) Just have Calpol on the ready hun. Maya cried for like a minute and was fine and running around after :) She didnt get a reaction either xx 😘😗 Hmm maybe you could take an ice pack to kind of numb the area beforehand? Xx

@winterbaby95 thank you hun I've heard so many stories about how horrible they are and I'm freaking out lol but I'm going to bring the Calpol and some milk just to soothe her x

Harvey's didn't bother him at all if that helps xx he was quite bad with the other but with these he cried when it happened then was absolutely fine xx hope she's ok xxx

@beck_yemm thanks sweetie she seems to be doing fine atm just a bit hot. I gave her Calpol before hand though so hopefully tonight she will be okay x

Zaid fell ill but that's normal for him, he does with all vaccinations as do i. The bigger issue for us was that it caused a huge bump under his skin, maybe he tensed when the needle went in and also we didn't rub it after the injection was given. It was sore to touch for him for days and the bump was still there 2 weeks on. Only thing to do is calpol unfortunately.

@noshinxoxo oh no I've heard a lot of kids get this bump. Calpol seems to be working a bit she wouldn't walk at all and today it's like teaching her to walk all over again it's breaking my heart but the k you for the advice x

@mum2sky oh no that's awful! Have you called anyone on advice to see how u can help her? Me and my husband tried rubbing in the site every time we got a chance, it hurt him but you need to get the injection fluids to move and get blood flowing.

@noshinxoxo it really is hun. I tried touching it but she was in a lot of pain so I left it. She's walking like taking tiny steps now but not how she normally walks. I think I might give her a bath then massage her legs and see if that helps x

@mum2sky expect her to cry a lot when u go to massage. But for her own benefit I do think it needs to be done. Hope bath helps xx
